Price

Availability:

Vallisneria Spiralis or as most people know them as Italian Vals are wonderful background plants. They do well in just about all water types and lighting, from soft to hard and low light to high light. With Vallisneria Spiralis, you can cut the leaves to any size without damaging the plant which makes them great for small, large, tall, and short tanks.

Family: Hydrocharitaceae

Region: Asia

Growth Rate: Fast

Light Needs: Low to Moderate

You are buying three rooted plants. The picture shows a total of 6 rooted plants.

Right now the vals are averaging 10+" tall.

Note: If you use Seachem Excel as a co2 supplement, please be careful because Excel is known to melt Italian vals.

Planting instructions

Plant the roots, Not the plant itself (where the green starts) in your substrate. Planting this plant to deep can cause it to melt. Adding a fertilizer tab a couple of inches from the roots is suggested.

The plants I got were very robust and packaged very well. A few days after trimming the roots and planting them, I saw new leaves and roots starting to grow in. Now they are sending out shooters everywhere! I love this plant, thank you!

Healthy

They measured 14 inches tall and the leaves were about 1/4" average width. I originally ordered two just to see what I got. They were packaged extremely well and the plants themselves were healthy. I am very happy with these plants, so I ordered 8 more. Beautiful background plant.

Very happy with plants, were green and healthy looking in the box. I will grow them in 16 gallon wide screen tank with flourite substrate, hard water. Looking forward to adding more plants as time goes on.

Very happy

My order arrived promptly and packaged with care. I ordered 5 sets of Vals and all are healthy and green, with strong roots. They planted easily and have made a huge difference in the look of my tank. I'm very pleased and will come to this site first when I need plants in the future.

Beautiful plants

These were much bigger than I expected and measured 16 in. When I got them they were in perfect condition and two orders covered a large portion in the back of my 30 gallon tank.

I purchased two orders of these Italian Vals and they arrived looking great. The customer service was excellent as they contacted me about shipping when there was a question of a holiday causing a delay in delivery. I am hoping that they will thrive in my new set up.
